Good morning all and happy Sunday.
Feeling better today I decided to change things, a lot.
Not using my normal suds, grabbing Wool Fat, my MMOC with a new blade as always and my horse hair brush to do a nice Sunday shave.
Well, that didn't happen to say the least. I'm acustom to using a new blade with a OC razor that is, well, capable of a close shave.
First, the soap was not as slick as I am used to, even with more time in preperation. Second, because it did not lather as well as the PAA or Stirling, it dried out quicker, leaving me to re-apply to moisten the soap.
I understand the lack of lather and slickness because of my hard water, so it may not be the soap to use here. All these factors contributed to a less than plesant shave. This is one of the rare times I had to use my styptic pencil on the back of my head because of the slight bounce of the razor once. The face and neck was also less than normal due to the lack of slikness I expected. Some weepers on the neck I sadly report.
